His character is unsearchable
and yet he reveals himself to us.
Since the beginning of time God has revealed himself to people. His character, his identity, and his plan. the Bible is a compilation of experiences, from over 30 authors, over the course of thousands of years. They share how God revealed himself to people. Here are just a few of the attributes shared.
He is…
Love
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” —1 John 4:7-12
God is the creator of the heavens and the earth
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;”
He is Our King
“Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.”
God Provides
I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
We are the caretakers of the earth, designed with a great work ahead of us. But ultimately, our provision comes from the hand of God.
our healer
God created our bodies with the ability to heal from wounds, fight disease, and grow into mental health. To that end he provides plants for medicine and people gifted and studied at understanding the intricacies of the human body and mind. In wisdom we utilize all of the resources available to us—and ultimately we look to God for our healing.
"Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise."
Our Help
But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;
you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;
you are the helper of the fatherless.
God helps us through prayer, through his word, through the people around us, and so many other things. He is able to help you in your difficulties through so many avenues.
Our Counselor
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Wonderful Counselor. The same Jesus who walked through our neighborhoods, who was crucified and resurrected, and is now seated at the right hand of God, is also our counselor. A wonderful counselor. God is not hidden and far off, but near—and our best source for help.
Our redeemer
Abraham, David, and Job all looked ahead with faith in their redeemer. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John lived side-by-side with their redeemer—grieving when he died and marveling at his resurrection. Like us, the early church leaders looked back in faith to the life of Jesus Christ, and communed with him in prayer. We all have access to our redeemer who has the power to heal the ills fo life and cleanse us from sin and brokenness. Won’t you turn to him now for abundant life now and eternal life to come?
I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
our father
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
Our Mother
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.”
Our brother
“He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Our friend
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
as god reveals himself to his creation, never is he a god far off, but a god who is near. NEver a one-way conversation, but A closest relationship.
